Sadly, I don't remember calculus well enough to know why this should be funny. But there is some part of me that knows it should be. :?

Calculus isn't important. That's just happened to be the class in which it happened to me.

You need to know programming or discrete math to get the joke. In those realms, the "or" operation is true if one or both of the statements it joins are true; it is false only if both of them are false. So if I ask any question (mathematical or even non-mathematical), "Should I do X or should I not do X?" then the answer to a computer programmer or discrete mathematician is "yes" because it's impossible for both of those statements to be false.

Hmm. Well I do program and I understand how the 'or' joke would work (and I would be the one laughing hysterically :)) , but not in this instance because I have no idea what "the chain rule" means.

The fun part is that the joke works whether you know programming or not, and whether you know the chain rule or not.

"Should I use the chain rule or something else?"

"Yes, you should use either the chain rule or something else."

The original lineup of your favourite band seems more like a family, than your biological family does. 8)

"Yes, you should use either the chain rule or something else."

Nope. For me it then becomes a simple choice of using A or B to achieve X.

"When I make the apple pie should I use apples or something else?
vs.
"When I make the Fzzt should I use apples or something else?"
The first is funny because of the logical incongruity but the second is just a choice, if you don't know what "Fzzt" means.
Or it's possibly funny because in order to make "Fzzt" you'll need to use something to construct it, so then it doesn't matter if you don't know what "Fzzt" is. In which case the answer is "yes, use A or B".
Ah, hmm. I think that's the point you're making but for it to work for me, I need an appropriate "if" before it and my not knowing what "chain rule" means just broke it. :?

You might be aspie if you find the comments explaining a joke more interesting than the joke itself.

You might be Aspie if you hate typos in your posts so much, that after you've written a long post you cut it and paste it onto Microsoft Office Word, and press ''Spelling and Grammar'', and correct all the captured mistakes, then cut it and paste it back onto the bit where you write the post in, then submit it. You go through all that 'cos you can't be bothered to just read it through.

You might be Aspie if you suffer from mild Agoraphobia and can't always have courage to go out - yet you are fine getting on the buses to see the gorgeous bus-drivers you fancy.

You might be Aspie if you've outgrown jumping back when a dog comes near you, but you've started to jump back when a toddler comes near you.

Additionally, you might be Aspie if you can't help yourself from glaring at toddlers when they start screaming.

...if you refuse to watch movies from before the 90's because the special effects and picture quality are horrid.

...if your favorite part of a movie is its special effects.

...if you ever failed a class on principle

...if you were upset that you had to convert your avatar photo from a PNG to a compressed JPEG in order to get it under the 16 KB limit, and you are now unhappy because you have a photo of inferior quality representing you.

...if you edit your posts more than three times because you keep finding grammatical errors

...if you like hanging out on the Aspie forum better than talking to people on Facebook.

Endlessly - and it really annoys when despite all this, the posted message still has errors. It becomes an issue for a while if there's no edit-after-post function too. 8O

I love it!! Brings to mind something similar:

...if you avoid small children because you cannot cope with their apparent lack of independence or their total disregard for your personal space.

You might be Aspie if your parents keep on reminding you that the C-word is a very strong and offensive swear word to use......
